The sunny courtyard leads to a wide opening front door into the tiled entrance hall (24 sq m) running the full depth of the house, the second half of the entrance hall houses the stairs to the first floor, and gives access to the boiler room and a entrance door to the side of the property, and a door to the kitchen.

The farmhouse style kitchen (27 sq m) has a traditional cooking range (available under separate negotiation), terracotta tiled floor and ample space for informal dining.

Leading on from the office is the ground floor bedroom (22.5 sq m) which has glazed doors leading out to the courtyard the beginnings of a shower room requiring fitting out.

From the office there is also access to former distillery which still has the original 'alambic' (Still), which, with renovation, could make an stunning function room.

The ground floor of the house is completely wheelchair-friendly, which could be a great plus point for running a Chambre d'Hote.

To the front of the house are two large bedroom suites (each 20 sq m plus bathrooms), and a modest twin bedroom (9 sq m). There also remains the possibility to convert attic space into further accommodation!

To the side of the house there is an adjoining barn (with the still), and beyond this is an annex where works have been started to create an independent gite. Opposite the house is a further outbuilding offering useful garden storage and plenty of space for a workshop/studio/home office. To the rear of this outbuilding is an open sided hangar making an ideal shaded parking area for several cars.
